Looking to relocate to Atlanta and I see a few Microsoft roles I’d be interested in. However, I’m not very technical so I worry I may not be a good fit based on that alone. Is there a certain threshold of technical skills I need regardless of the department I’d be applying to?

I mean, probably not if you apply to HR. I would think they probably have a marketing/business development team that doesn’t require too many technical skills

I’ve been working in public accounting (audit) for a year and I don’t enjoy the work and don’t see myself in this position for much longer. I’ve been thinking about going into marketing but stuck on how to get started. I know I have no prior experience, but since I’m early in my career and with taking some courses/certifications (Google analytics, SEO, etc.) to boost my resume, I’m hoping to make the switch. Any advice on where to start, what type of marketing positions I would align with, etc?
